This font was used in an issue of Swindle. It later haunted me from a bus bench. I just love it. Does anyone know what it’s called, and what typeface it’s based on?

Thanks!

this typeface appeared for only one issue, iirc.

I was also curious to find out who made it.

influenced by the Avant Garde alternates

I think it’s Fedra Sans Display.

The ligatures and the expert set seem to bear this out.

[EDIT] {removed redundant link to ligatures}

Nice ID, Lex.
